Carter sees talk as 'turning point' out more specifics of his energy program From what the president has told others, the energy portion of the speech is expected to project a massive, multi-billion dollar program to reduce American oil imports by four or five million barrels a day by 1990; to propose establishment of a synthetic fuels corporation; to urge creation of a powerful Energy Mobilization Board to oversee all key energy projects, to give those projects overrid- address and a follow-up speech he intends to give in Kansas City on Monday.

Schlesinger, the energy secretary, and other officials about various elements of the energy package.

Other officials, working through the day, predicted it would be "a scramble" to get all elements fully worked out by package that Carter will outline to the nation at 7 p.m. PDT today. (The address will be carried live by the three major television networks.) The White House has disclosed, that while the genesis of the speech was the energy crisis, Carter now intends to deliver a much broader address dealing with national purpose and seeking to lift the nation from what he regards as a crisis of confidence. Jody Powell, the White House press secretary, New York Times News Service WASHINGTON After an extraodrinary 11-day period of political introspection at Camp David, President Carter returned to Washington Saturday night, still at work on tonight's television address that he has described as a vital turning point for the nation and his presidency.

Chappaquiddick casts cloud over Kennedy dential candidate Kennedy, Chappaquiddick could be a factor, perhaps even a damaging one, but not enough to spoil his chances. Republicans who seek their party's nomination resolutely deny if they will discuss Chappaquiddick at all that they would make a campaign issue of the accident. But they agree voters will still be reminded of Chappaquiddick. "Inevitably it would come up," says Rep. John Anderson of Illinois, a candidate in the New Hamp- (Continued on A-5.

Kennedy is being pushed to challenge Carter for the Democratic presidential nomination. If he decides to run, many agree he will be forced to face the possibility that Chappaquiddick might influence the election of a president.

The memory of Chappaquiddick has faded. The nation's youngest voters were grade-schoolers at the time. Now, a decade after the accident, Kennedy, at 47 and four times elected to the Senate, leads President Carter by almost 2-to-l in national popularity polls. A recent Lous Harris poll gave Kennedy 48 By DANIEL Q. HANEY BOSTON (AP) Ten years have passed, and Sen.

Despite Kennedy's explanations, a court inquest, numerous books, newspaper investigations and the lapse of a decade, the doubts and questions and innuendos linger.

She did not survive her third.

The first sign of an impending surrender came when three guerrillas appeared on the balcony with their Kalashinkov automatic weapons and shouted, "Salute to the Turkish people." One of the guerrillas was using a bullhorn provided by Turkish authorities Friday evening. Among those leaving the embassy with the hostages was Turkish Interior Minister Hasan Fehmi Gunes, who was at the scene from the early hours of Sunday to supervise the surrender, reportedly worked out with the help of Palestinian mediators flown in from Damascus, Syria.

Turkey (AP) Four Palestinian guerrillas who held the Egyptian Embassy here in a bloody 45-hour siege surrendered late Saturday to Turkish authorities, witnesses reported. The Palestinians made for victory signs before boarding a police van.

Shortly before their surrender the four terrorists appeared on an embassy balcony and shouted: "Long live Palestine and the Palestinian struggle." They also brought some of their hostages out on the balcony and the captives raised their hands and shouted, "Long live Palestinian struggle." The terrorists surrendered at 8:30 a.m. 10:30 p.m. PDT. Two Turkish guards were slain in a burst of gunfire and an explosion when the terrorists stormed into the embassy Friday and seized 20 hostages, including Ambassador Kemal Olema. Later, one hostage died as he slipped from an upper story window and the guerrillas released others.

The hostages started to emerge from the embassy compound after the guerrillas were driven away in a van. The Turkish state radio said many of the hostages "appeared in good shape."

The sentences could be served concurrently and reduced one-third for good behavior.)
